Nor do I so thank f**k someone else has taken up the burden. I feel like Al Pacino n Godfather 3 when Andy Garcia has agreed to take over as head of the Family.

Presumably due to rabid boredom due to the topic.

I think that most people don't mind kids in pubs or restaurants during the day, provided they behave 'within reason'. I was having lunch with my family at Barcelona on New Years Day along with several other families. One family had 2 children who ran amok, nearly pulling the till off its stand at one point and running around and generally acting like little demons. What did the parents do? Sweet F.A. apart from leaving a whole plate of food spilt on the floor and leaving the doors wide open on the way out. So really its up to us to have a word with the parents if the kids are annoying us, not gripe about it later on a forum.


If you do have the cajones to have a word with the parents about their little darlings, then good on you. Or even with the staff if that's too confrontational for you. If you don't, please don't bore the rest of us with last years news.

    • Looking for a battery operated cat feeder please.
    • Half my family are medics, going back generations, and none of them would ever have gone, or would now go, on strike. I know times have changed, but my family knew what they were signing up for, and accepted the detriment to their families and the hours (which, in the junior years, were way longer when they are now)... because it was not only a vocation, but a stable career for life. And they felt a genuine duty of care to their patients, whom they often put before their own children.  I can only conclude that entry-level junior doctors are more entitled these days. Plus, it's insensitive to nurses, who really do deserve a lot more money and recognition.  There are issues other than pay, like the lack of available posts, and having to move around the country, but they can be improved without a strike.  I don't think the right people are being recruited into the profession anymore. We're all on lower wages and paying more tax than we were ten years ago, but many of us just have to suck it up, work our socks off and get on with it.   
    • Beglfire I start, I have a lot of respect for Doctors and owe my life to them after various mishaps over the years.  I am however getting a jaded view of them continuing to run the strike ballot next week in the middle of what is turning into a bad winter for the NHS. Of course they may vote to not strike, but personally feel it is irresponsible timing to consider it as hospitals are already struggling.  Today the BMA warned of scaremongering over the current flu outbreak (BBC News - BMA warns of flu 'scaremongering' ahead of doctor strikes - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y22yzl6y6o) but just seeing how many people I know are going down with it, that feels like poor spin by the BMA. How do others feel ?   
    • We have also used Niko the plumber, he was great, fixed both of our leaking toilets and was also super helpful with advice about the shower leaking.
